The Baltimore Orioles gave up 10 runs yesterday in the first inning and were routed at home by the Kansas City Royals, 15-7. After yesterday’s shellacking, Baltimore has now lost 7 straight and will turn to the ex-Padre Andrew Cashner to get them back in the Win column. Cashner has been anything but stellar, at 1-4, with a 4.89 ERA, and a 1.53 WHIP. The Royals will send Eric Skoglund to the hill and he has not be delivering either. Skoglund is 1-2, with a bloated ERA of 6.84, a 1.41 WHIP, and the Royals are just 1-7 in their last 8 trips to Camden Yards. So if Baltimore is going to win another game and save Buck Showalter’s job, it should be tonight.
